Using Graph Cut Segmentation on Image Sequences

This project aims to combine various ideas about computer vision, specifically region detection, object recognition, and change detection, with real world applications. High Spy is intended to be a system that is comprised of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, otherwise known as UAVs, for the purposes of collecting data from the surrounding landscape. These UAVs will collect video data and return it to a base where the rest of the system will use various methods to analyse the data to create a knowledge base about the surrounding landscape. Once this is done, the system will continue to analyse video returned by the UAVs to look for changes in the landscape from mission to mission. It is the hope that this will lead to a military application at a Forward Operating Base, or FOB. In this way, the UAVs will look for Improvised Explosive Devices, or IEDs, alerting a squadron commander if anything is found.
